FOREWORD 

The  purpose  of  this  leaflet  is  to  offer  such  suggestions  for 
group  discussions  and  reference  material  as  shall  make  it  pos¬ 
sible  for  the  students  and  others  in  a  college  interested  in 
the  promotion  of  Eight  Week  Club  work  to  find  answers  to 
the  three  questions  so  often  in  their  minds: 

(1)  What  are  the  Eight  Week  Clubs? 

(2)  Why  should  we  promote  them  through  our  college? 

(3)  What  steps  are  necessary  in  their  promotion? 


How  to  Promote  Eight  Week  Clubs 
in  the  Colleges 

By  Mabel  E.  Stone 
PART  ONE 

Two  outlines  for  cabinet  discussions  (twenty  minutes  each 
at  two  successive  cabinet  meetings).  These  outlines  may 
be  used  as  suggestions  by  the  president  when  planning  to 
bring  the  matter  of  Eight  Week  Clubs  before  her  cabi¬ 
net  either  for  the  first  time  or  when  the  subject  is  being 
brought  up  for  the  first  time  in  the  given  year. 

OUTLINE  I. — To  be  used  in  a  college  that  has  never  had 

Eight  Week  Club  work 

First  Discussion. 

1.  How  many  of  you  live  in  towns?  How  many  in  the 
open  farm  country?  What  is  the  difference? 

2.  What  kind  of  good  times  do  girls  have  in  towns? 
In  the  open  country?  Is  all  the  “fun”  the  right  sort? 

3.  Think  about  the  time  you  were  in  High  School.  Were 
the  girls  as  democratic  as  possible?  Was  there  a  ten¬ 
dency  to  form  exclusive  groups  according  to  their 
class  in  school,  the  church  to  which  they  belonged  or 
the  little  club  they  had  formed?  Did  the  girls  think 
they  had  to  go  to  town  to  have  a  good  time? 

4.  What  do  you  think  are  the  needs  of  girls  in  your  own 
communities?  Do  they  have  enough  good  times  of 
the  right  sort?  Are  there  chances  to  learn  the  things 
that  girls  want  to  know  about  home-making,  friend¬ 
ship,  the  clothes  that  are  truly  beautiful,  etc.?  Are 
they  giving  service  in  the  community? 

3 


5.  There  is  a  club  whose  purpose  is  “to  bring  the  girls 
and  young  women  of  a  community  together  during 
the  summer  vacation  season  to  learn  some  of  the 
things  that  mean  a  happier,  more  abundant  life;  to 
unite  them  in  definite  service  to  their  home  neighbor¬ 
hood;  to  learn  about  the  Young  Women's  Christian 
Association  and  to  be  of  help  in  extending  its  oppor¬ 
tunities  to  other  girls  in  small  towns  and  country 
districts."  Think  about  this  purpose.  Would  you 
like  to  see  such  a  club  in  your  own  neighborhood? 

This  sort  of  a  club  is  called  an  “Eight  Week  Club" 
because  it  carries  on  its  work  during  eight  weeks  of 
the  vacation.  Hundreds  of  college  girls  who  are  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Young  Women’s  Christian  Association  are 
leading  such  clubs  each  summer. 

6.  Assign  to  different  cabinet  members  the  following 
to  read  before  the  next  cabinet  meeting: 

The  Introduction  and  Chapters  I  and  II  of  “Col¬ 
lege  Women  and  Country  Leadership":*  The  leaflet: 
“For  Leaders  of  Eight  Week  Clubs." 

Second  Discussion  (Use  Part  II  of  this  leaflet  for  points 
needing  special  emphasis). 

1.  How  did  Eight  Week  Clubs  begin?  What  is  the  club 
motto? 

2.  What  have  Eight  Week  Clubs  to  do  with  country 
leadership? 

1.  Does  the  college  need  leaders?  What  makes  real 
leadership  in  college?  Do  country  communities 
need  leaders,  too?  Report  by  the  cabinet  mem¬ 
ber  who  read  the  first  chapter  in  “College  Wom¬ 
en  and  Country  Leadership."  What  kind  of 


*See  last  page. 


4 


leadership  is  needed  in  the  country?  (Report 
from  the  girl  who  read  the  second  chapter). 

3.  Give  an  account  of  an  Eight  Week  Club  in  a  town. 

4.  Tell  what  one  Eight  Week  Club  in  the  open  country 
accomplished. 

5.  How  shall  we  enlist  the  girls  in  our  college  in  giving 
service  through  Eight  Week  Clubs?  What  points 
need  to  be  remembered? 

6.  Hand  in  at  the  next  cabinet  meeting  suggestive  pro¬ 
grams  for  a  Rally  and  the  names  of  girls  who  would 
make  good  leaders  of  clubs. 

OUTLINE  II. — To  be  used  in  a  college  which  has  already 
done  Eight  Week  Club  work. 

First  Discussion  (Ask  any  girls  who  have  previously  led 
clubs  to  meet  with  the  cabinet). 

1.  How  many  girls  are  from  small  towns?  From  the 
open  country?  From  large  cities?  What  needs  has 
the  girl  in  the  town  and  country  that  the  city  girl 
has  not?  How  do  the  three  types  of  community  dif¬ 
fer?  Ask  one  girl  who  had  an  Eight  Week  Club  in  a 
town  to  describe  the  community.  Do  the  same  for 
the  open  country.  What  made  you  think  of  leading 
an  Eight  Week  Club  there? 

2.  What  is  the  purpose  of  an  Eight  Week  Club?  What 
is  the  motto? 

3.  What  have  Eight  Week  Clubs  done?  (Reports  from 
several  girls  who  have  already  led  Clubs.) 

What  preparation  ought  we  to  make  this  year?  Have 
the  former  leaders  any  suggestions  as  to  ways  of 
strengthening  the  training  class? 

5 


4.  Discuss  the  suggestions  of  the  advisory  committee 
and  the  field  student  secretary  as  to  the  faculty  mem¬ 
ber  who  could  best  act  as  adviser  to  the  social  service 
committee  in  their  planning  and  as  supervisor  of  the 
leaders’  training  class.  Ask  every  girl  to  bring  to 
next  cabinet  meeting  a  program  for  the  Rally  and 
the  names  of  girls  whom  she  thinks  should  be  espe¬ 
cially  interested. 

Second  Discussion  (Invite  the  faculty  member  who  is  to 
supervise  the  Eight  Week  Club  work). 

1.  How  can  interest  be  awakened  among  the  students? 

What  points  should  a  Rally  emphasize?  Discuss  the 
suggested  program  and  those  brought  in  by  the  girls. 

2.  What  ought  to  be  considered  as  necessary  qualifica¬ 
tions  for  leadership?  Ought  a  girl  who  is  to  be  very 
busy  during  the  summer  or  away  from  home  much 
to  consider  leading  a  Club?  Why?  List  of  names  of 
girls  whom  the  cabinet  will  try  to  interest. 

3.  Review  briefly  the  plans  as  made  so  far.  Put  down 
on  paper  a  short  policy  to  govern  the  Eight  Week  Club 
for  one  year. 

Material  to  be  used  in  reference :

“For  Leaders  of  Eight  Week  Clubs”. 

PART  TWO 

Suggested  Steps  in  the  Promotion  of  Eight  Week  Clubs 

1.  Selecting  a  faculty  member  to  act  as  adviser.  One 
of  the  first  steps  the  cabinet  should  take,  in  consultation 
with  the  advisory  committee  and  the  field  student  secretary 
where  possible  is  to  invite  some  faculty  member  who  is 

6 


deeply  interested  in  the  country  life  movement  to  act  as 
adviser  to  the  social  service  committee  in  making  the 
plans  for  Eight  Week  Club  promotion.  The  help  of  such  a 
faculty  adviser  is  needed  in  arranging  for  the  Rally,  in 
supervising  the  Preparation  Class  (which  she  will  either 
teach  herself  or  assist  by  working  with  whomever  is  to  teach 
it)  and  in  following  up  the  leaders  during  the  summer, 
through  correspondence,  with  her  encouragement  and  sug¬ 
gestions.  This  is  a  great  deal  to  ask  of  any  faculty  mem¬ 
ber,  but  much  of  the  success  of  Eight  Week  Club  work  de¬ 
pends  on  just  this  help  and  supervision. 

2.  The  Rally.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Rally  to  arouse 
interest  in  the  rural  life  movement  and  put  before  girls  the 
opportunities  of  Eight  Week  Club  leadership.  There  are 
at  least  two  possibilities  for  this  Rally. 

(a)  A  Harvest  Festival,  held  rather  early  in  the  fall. 
For  this  meeting,  arranged  by  the  social  service  and 
religious  meetings  committees,  the  decorations  could  be 
autumn  leaves  and  other  out-of-doors  things,  the  music 
would  be  harvest  hymns  such  as  “Come  Ye  Thankful 
People,  Come”,  “Lord  of  the  Harvest”,  etc.,  and  not 
only  should  there  be  reports  from  any  girls  who  have 
led  Eight  Week  Clubs  during  the  summer,  but  other 
girls  who  have  given  some  special  form  of  service  to 
their  communities  during  the  summer,  as  in  Daily  Va¬ 
cation  Bible  Schools,  Flower  Missions,  etc.  should  have 
an  opportunity  to  make  brief  reports.  If  this  meeting  is 
held  in  the  fall  there  will  be  need  for  another  meeting 
in  January  or  early  February  definitely  to  enlist  girls 
for  Eight  Week  Club  leadership.  This  second  meeting 
should  center  around  the  need  and  opportunities  for 
leadership  in  small  towns  and  open  country.  A  chance 
should  be  given  girls  to  sign  up  for  the  Preparation 
Class.  Some  girls  who  are  going  to  teach  in  the  country 

7 


may  wish  to  join  even  though  they  are  not  going  to 
lead  Clubs  during  the  summer. 

(b)  An  Eight  Week  Club  Rally,  held  in  January  or 
very  early  in  February.  This  type  of  meeting  can  be 
used  by  the  college  which  has  never  had  any  Eight 
Week  Club  work.  The  program  might  be  somewhat  as 
follows : 

Hymn  : — “0  Worship  the  King”. 

Scripture: — Psalm  24. 

Prayer: — “0  Lord  Our  God,  Almighty  and  Eternal 
Father,  Who  givest  to  Thy  children  liberally,  we 
bless  Thee  this  night  for  Thine  infinite  goodness  to 
us  and  to  all  men.  We  give  Thee  thanks  for  the 
world  and  all  the  good  things  which  are  therein; 
for  the  sky  above  us  and  the  earth  beneath  our 
feet;  for  the  changing  seasons;  for  our  home  and 
friends.  We  bless  Thee  for  Thy  tender  care  which 
guards  us  and  for  all  Thy  good  gifts  by  which  we 
are  enriched.  Most  of  all  do  we  bless  Thee  for 
Jesus  Christ  our  Saviour,  for  all  the  means  of 
grace  and  the  hope  of  glory  through  Him.  In  Thy 
service  may  we  live  through  the  same  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.  Amen.” 

Rev.  H.  Stobart,  19th  Cent. 
Hymn  : — “Fairest  Lord  Jesus”. 

Five  Minute  Talks: 

(1)  The  call  of  the  country  for  leaders.  (“Col¬ 
lege  Women  and  Country  Leadership”.  Chap¬ 
ter  I.) 

(2)  What  kind  of  leaders  shall  they  be?  (“Col¬ 
lege  Women  and  Country  Leadership”.  Chap¬ 
ter  II.)

(3)  The  Story  of  One  Eight  Week  Club. 

(4)  Our  College  and  the  Country  Life  Movement, 
by  the  chairman  of  the  social  service  com¬ 
mittee  or  the  faculty  adviser. 

Hymn  : — “We  Plough  the  Fields  and  Scatter”. 

Closing  Prayer. 

After  the  meeting  an  opportunity  should  be  given  girls  to 
sign  up  for  the  Preparation  Class. 

3.  The  Preparation  Class.  The  plans  should  be  made 
for  this  class  long  enough  ahead  to  have  the  first  meeting 
within  a  week  or  ten  days  after  the  girls  have  signified  their 
wish  to  prepare  for  Eight  Week  Club  leadership,  in  order 
that  the  start  may  be  enthusiastic.  This  class  is  a  regular 
part  of  the  Voluntary  Study  program  of  the  second  semester, 
using  for  a  text,  “College  Women  and  Country  Leadership”, 
with  supplementary  reading  from  the  bibliography  given 
there.  In  addition  one  or  two  conferences  with  the  faculty 
supervisor,  when  each  girl  will  have  opportunity  to  ask 
questions  about  the  problems  which  she  is  facing  in  her  own 
community,  will  be  needed  to  make  the  preparation  thor¬ 
ough.  The  plans  for  any  specific  college  may  need  decided 
adaptation  from  this  outline  but  every  girl  who  expects  to 
lead  an  Eight  Week  Club  should  have  thought  carefully  about 
the  answers  to  the  following  questions : — 

(a)  What  is  the  purpose  of  an  Eight  Week  Club? 
Why  were  such  clubs  started?  What  needs  of 
the  small  town  or  country  are  there  to  meet? 

(b)  What  is  the  community  like  where  I  expect  to 
have  my  club?  What  are  the  resources  of  the 
community?  What  are  its  needs?  What  may  I 
hope  to  accomplish? 


9 


(c)  Do  I  know  how  many  girls  there  are  in  the 
community  who  are  about  sixteen?  Have  I 
thought  who  can  help  me  in  the  community?  Have  I 
a  written  plan  for  my  club  to  start  with?  Do 
I  understand  the  organization  of  an  Eight  Week 
Club  so  that  I  can  adapt  that  plan  as  the  weeks 
go  on? 

(d)  Am  I  surely  willing  to  give  my  time  and  will  I 
be  free  enough  from  other  duties  to  do  so?  Will 
I  stick  to  it  even  in  the  face  of  discouragements? 
Do  I  truly  want  to  share  the  joy  of  comradeship 
with  Jesus  Christ  with  other  girls? 

4.  Selection  of  leaders  and  Commission  Service.  At  the 
close  of  the  Preparation  Class  the  cabinet  and  the  faculty 
supervisor  may  make  the  final  selection  of  leaders  from 
those  who  they  feel  have  real  qualities  of  leadership,  are 
thoroughly  in  earnest  and  understand  definitely  the  possi¬ 
bilities  of  the  Eight  Week  Club.  The  emphasis  should  be 
laid  on  Juniors,  though  certain  Freshmen  and  Sophomores 
are  perfectly  capable  of  acting  as  leaders  and  many  times 
Seniors  will  want  to  have  Clubs,  sending  their  reports  back 
to  their  Association  in  the  fall.  In  order  that  the  pros¬ 
pective  leaders  may  recognize  the  trust  which  is  being  im¬ 
posed  in  them  and  that  the  college  may  appreciate  the  im¬ 
portance  of  the  work  it  will  be  well  to  arrange  to  have  at 
one  meeting  of  the  Association  a  Commission  Service  at 
which  the  leaders  shall  receive  their  appointments.  The  or¬ 
der  of  service  given  as  follows  is  suggested. 

5.  After  the  girls  have  actually  started  on  their  work 
comes  the  time  of  test.  Unexpected  situations  arise;  plans 
do  not  seem  so  adequate  or  information  so  complete  as  it 
did  back  at  college.  This  is  the  breach  which  may  often 
be  filled,  thereby  saving  a  Club  from  disaster,  by  corre¬ 
spondence  with  the  faculty  supervisor,  the  member  of  the 

10 


field  committee  who  is  responsible  for  Eight  Week  Club 
work  or  the  field  student  secretary.  A  girl  should  not  hesi¬ 
tate  to  ask  advice  and  those  who  helped  her  in  her  prepa¬ 
ration  can  do  perhaps  the  most  important  part  of  their 
work  in  sending  her  suggestion  and  encouragement  in  the 
emergency.  Through  correspondence  the  importance  of 
sending  in  a  prompt  report  in  the  fall  may  be  emphasized. 
More  visitation  is  being  given  to  Eight  Week  Clubs  each 
year  by  secretaries,  committee  members  and  faculty,  and 
while  as  yet  much  visitation  is  not  feasible  it  is  worth  un¬ 
usual  effort.  Sometimes  the  leaders  of  several  Clubs  can 
be  gathered  together  for  a  day  of  conference  which  will 
start  things  going  with  new  energy. 

It  is  seldom  that  girls  do  not  thrill  to  the  wide-spread 
challenge  of  Eight  Week  Club  leadership,  and  with  honest, 
thorough  preparation  on  the  part  of  the  cabinet,  social  ser¬ 
vice  committee  and  leaders,  with  the  help  of  interested  fac¬ 
ulty  members,  they  can  have  the  joy  of  carrying  through  to 
completion  a  worth-while  piece  of  social  service  work. 


A  COMMISSION  SERVICE  FOR  EIGHT  WEEK 

CLUB  LEADERS 


At  the  time  appointed  for  the  Commission  Service  the 
leader  of  the  meeting  may  explain  the  purpose  of  the  Ser¬ 
vice  somewhat  as  follows: 

Our  Young  Women’s  Christian  Association  means 
for  us  a  way  in  which  to  find  a  larger  opportunity  for 
willing  service.  So  it  is  with  glad  hearts  that  we  rec¬ 
ognize  as  an  Association  the  real  service  which  these 
of  our  number  propose  to  do.  Going  into  their  home 
communities,  they  will  give  of  the  best  that  college  has 
given  them  through  leading  groups  of  girls  during 
their  summer  vacations. 

Having  been  trained  for  this  work,  recommended  by 
the  cabinet,  the  faculty  adviser  and  our  field  student 
secretary,  they  will  to-day  receive  their  certificates  of 
appointment  from  the  National  Board  of  the  Young 
Women’s  Christian  Associations.  As  the  Young  Women’s 

Christian  Association  of  - ,  we  now 

commission  them  to  go  forth  in  true  service  to  the  girls 
of  their  home  communities. 

The  president  of  the  Young  Women’s  Christian  Associa¬ 
tion  then  takes  charge  of  the  Commission  Service.  She  calls 
the  names  of  the  leaders,  stating  the  place  in  which  each 
leader  expects  to  form  her  Eight  Week  Club.  As  the  names 
are  called  the  leaders  come  forward  and  stand  before  the 
president,  who  addresses  them  as  follows: 

Many  the  gifts  our  Alma  Mater  has  given 
To  enrich  your  lives.  You  are  blessed,  indeed. 

Yet  many  girls  have  not  the  chance  like  you  to  join 
In  happy  comradeship  with  other  girls 
In  study,  work  and  play  as  you  have  done 
Within  these  halls  we  love.  Tell  us, 

Can  you  out  from  college  halls 

12 


Deaf  to  the  call  to  share  what  has  been  given  you? 

Or  have  you  felt  the  need  of  all  these  girls, 

And  heard  the  call  to  service  from  your  home? 

You  love  the  place  where  you  have  spent  the  care-free 
days 

Of  girlhood;  do  you,  indeed,  love  it  so  much 

That  you  will  bear  to  other  girls  the  gifts 

So  freely  given  you?  These  girls  at  home 

Are  truly  sisters  to  you;  will  you  not 

Share  with  them  all  that  you,  yourselves,  have  found 

Of  love  for  finest  things;  help  them  to  live 

A  life  of  beauty — life  that  follows,  even 

As  yours,  the  life  of  Christ? 

One  of  the  Eight  Week  Club  Leaders  responds,  speaking 
for  the  group: 

Above  our  books  we’ve  heard  this  call  to  us, 

As  girls  whose  lives  have  been  enriched,  indeed, 

By  all  the  things  that  college  gives  to  us, 

The  call  back  to  our  homes,  and  there 
Among  the  folks  we  love,  we’ll  share  as  best 
We  can,  all  that  we  have.  And  with  the  girls 
Who  live  there,  we  would  learn  anew 
The  ways  so  true  of  simple  friendliness. 

With  joyful  hearts  we  follow  now  the  call, 

And  loyal  to  our  college,  to  our  homes, 

And  to  the  Master  through  whose  life 
Is  shown  to  us  the  debt  of  love  we  owe, 

We  would  go  forth  in  ways  of  royal  service. 

The  leaders  remain  standing  while  the  faculty  adviser 
for  Eight  Week  Clubs  (or  the  chairman  of  the  social  service 
committee),  answers: 

We  know  you  well;  your  lives  have  stood  the  test; 

And  now  we  feel  that  as  you  here  have  learned, 

13 


So  you  may  share  with  other  girls  the  things 
That  have  been  taught  to  you  within  these  walls. 

With  faith  in  you  we  send  you  out  to-day, 

Assured  that  all  the  girls  whose  lives  you  touch 
Will  be  more  happy.  And  as  you  go  remember  this: 

To  love  them  as  your  sisters,  always;  never  swerve 
From  college  lessons  of  democracy. 

Remember,  too,  you  serve  not  only  girls, 

But  country;  and  more,  you  serve  the  King. 

And  serving  Him,  you  help  to  bring  to  earth 
The  Kingdom  of  goodwill  and  love, 

The  happy  dawn  of  that  new  day  when  country  folk 
Shall  all  united  be  for  common  good. 

She  then  gives  to  each  leader  her  Certificate  of  Appoint¬ 
ment  from  the  National  Board. 

Prayer  by  the  president  of  the  Association : 

We  thank  Thee,  Lord,  for  all  the  joy 

Of  home;  for  the  near  day  when  we  shall  go 

Once  more  among  our  neighbors  and  our  oldest  friends. 

As  Thou  hast  given  to  us  all  the  gifts  of  life 

In  boundless  measure  and  unfailing  love, 

Grant  Thou  to  us,  to  share  the  treasures  rich 
That  this  glad  year  has  poured  into  our  hearts. 

And  grant,  we  pray  for  Christ's  dear  sake,  that  these, 
Thy  messengers,  shall  herald  forth  the  truth 
That  is  in  joyous  friendliness  and  simple  faith 
Through  all  the  gladsome  summer  days.  Amen. 

There  may  be  a  short  talk  by  the  president  of  the  college 
or  other  speaker,  followed  by  such  a  hymn  as  “Lord,  speak 
to  me  that  I  may  speak  in  living  echoes  of  thy  tone.”
